Stress Propagation and Coordinated Forming of Perforated Plate by Laser Shot Peening
Combining numerical simulation and experimental verification, we investigate the effect of the laser shot peening process on forming coordination of the perforated plates to solve the poor single-curvature forming quality of the plates with perforated structures. First, the dynamic stress evolution and residual stress distribution of laser-induced stress waves near the perforated structures under different scanning strategies are analyzed. Then, the forming ability of perforated plates and the consistency of forming curvatures between different parts of the perforated structures are explored. Results indicate that after the stress waves touch the circular perforation, the attenuation speed slows down, and the waveform slides and propagates along both sides of the half arc, and bypasses the half arc, forming an alternating tensile/compressive stress wave at the center of the half arc that penetrates the entire thickness along the depth direction. In the stripe strategy, multiple times of small energy laser shot peening enhance the stress amplitude and forming ability of the discontinuous perforation and have a gain effect on the forming coordination of the perforated plates. Under the wraparound strategy, continuous scanning of the inner and outer perimeters of the perforation decreases the negative effects caused by the discontinuous perforated structures. Additionally, the continuous stress propagation and uniform stress distribution improve the forming ability and coordination of the perforated plates. Compared with the specimens treated by stripe strategy, the forming ability of specimens treated by the wraparound strategy under the same energy is increased by 74.16%, and the deviation rate of the curvature radius in the sub-region is decreased to 3.99%.
